I’ve taken this advice to heart as I start down my new path, both internallyand with other people.As I think aboutmy plans, it’s easy to stress myself out with everything I don’t know. But whenI think of everything that I get to figure out (oh! the freedom!), it’sinspiring, energizing.

And when I talk to friends about my future, everyone has questions. The mostcommon one seems to be “What’s your plan?” I always used to answer, “I don’tknow.” This answer didn’t put anyone at ease, especially not me.

People like plans. I like plans. I like knowing what’s going to happen. WhatI’ve learned is that what’s going to happen is that I’m going to figure it out.And, that’s what I’ve slowly been doing – figuring it out. I hope to have atleast enough figured out winter’s end to be able to leave my desk job. I havefaith in myself to know that I can do this. I trust myself enough to know thatI will figure it out.

Finding the trust in yourself if hard, but it’s so important to hold onto that.It’s crucial to know, not think, but know, that you can do things for yourself.That you can be happy. That you can have a job that brings you joy. I know Iwrite about this a lot – I think it’s so important to find that trust.
